JURY TRIAL
(ECF No. 9)

Plaintiff Sammy R. Quair, Sr., (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma
pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff initiated this action on
October 16, 2014, and requested a jury trial. (ECF No. 1, p. 13.) On December 12, 2014, Plaintiff
filed a second demand for a jury trial. (ECF No. 9.)
Consistent with Plaintiff’s request, claims brought under 42 U.S.C.§ 1983 are triable by jury.
City of Monterey v. Del Monte Dunes at Monterey, Ltd., 526 U.S. 687, 709 (1999); Fed. R. Civ. P.
38(a). Accordingly, unless the parties later stipulate to a court trial, this action shall remain a jury
action. Fed. R. Civ. P. 39(a).
Based on the foregoing, Plaintiff’s motion demanding a jury trial is DENIED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
